  • B2 NEWS August 18, 1999 New Dean Has High Hopes for Applied Sciences by Jeffrey Sykes Staff Writer Effective July 1, the College of Applied Sciences has a new dean, Dr. Dennis Depew, who came from Purdue University to take over the position. Raised in Elizabethton, Tenn., Depew spent 14 years in Indiana before returning to the Southeast. He comes to Western with a simple message that can help students in the pursuit of their goals: "If you work hard and have big dreams you can realize success," Depew stated in a face to face interview three weeks after arriving in Cullowhee. Recognized by Purdue students in 1989 as the university's best teacher, he sees student evaluation of his work as the benchmark of success. "You like to think your colleagues think you are a good teacher, but the real litmus test is what the audience thinks." Depew hopes to teach classes in the spring semester. "I like for students to come to know me as a professor and a dean," he stated. This will be the first semester in 14 years in which he has not taught a class. Depew is undeniably enthusiastic about the future growth of careers for students in the College of Applied Sciences. The nature of changing technology and its impact upon society make the process of continuing education highly important. "We are about lifelong learning. In any profession you grow, develop, and learn. Life is going to be very different tomorrow," commented Depew. Depew was upbeat about all of the myriad programs the college offers to Western students. Concentrated into six fields, there are five graduate programs which complement the 18 undergraduate degrees. The fields are Criminal Justice, Health Sciences, Human Environmental Science, Industrial Engineering Technology, Nursing, and Physical Therapy. Accredited by national bodies, Applied Sciences programs prepare graduates for nationwide placement in the burgeoning job market. "That is a unique part of the college," said Depew. Nursing will begin to offer a Masters of Science program this semester, and according to Depew there is talk of offering a similar degree in Criminal Justice. Merely in the proposal stage now, the issue may come before the Faculty Senate next year. Dr. Dennis Depew Electronics Engineering Technology has a new concentration in telecommunications. "Students come out of that program with a strong background in computer hardware," Depew said. Careers in this field are no longer limited to telephone and cable companies. According to Depew, graduates could work in such fields as computer information systems and networking. Exciting things are happening on the human side of the college's concentrations as well. As baby boomers age, the demand for health care professionals will continue to grow. Western's three year old MA program in Physical Therapy is attracting attention. "The job outlook long term for physical therapists is extremely good," Depew said. This program is working interdisciplinary with IET in the field of ergonomics. "The big impact here is on health care and safety, [to see] if they can keep people working efficiently." The college also includes growing programs in Early Childhood Development, Interior Design, and Hospitality Manage ment. "There is going to be an enormous need in marriage and family studies." Commenting on the Hospitality Management program, Depew added "that is a whole new booming area. There are lots of opportunities for young people interested in hospitality- five star hotels, major entertainment facilities. It is really wide open." In regards to the small size of some of these programs Depew was consistent in his optimism. "Small is relative. You have to look at things objectively when talking about program enrollment." Depew was careful to mention the other programs now under his leadership, and emphasized his desire to help industries and businesses who may want to relocate to the Southeast to see Western North Carolina as a viable area. He also expressed his intention to advance Western's reputation in the region. "I do see that as a major role for me, helping Western North Carolina Businesses understand the resources here. North Carolina is a very attractive state, and a very progressive state in terms of higher education. Western has a great reputation in the professional community. Depew is also married, happily he added, and the father of three daughters college age and up. One attends Purdue, another lives in Charlotte, and one is attending UNC-G pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree. 9etfSf HAPPY Uippft £ the only /UtemaUve Tobacco & shop.» rBaS£8te8 °!> Color Chf* §JS Herbal Blends j Ceramics * Old World Hookahs g v> Grateful Dead" incense unique gifts imported fun stuff Gargoyles.
